Mastodon is 100% the early days of social media all over. Some of you will already be familiar with this story.
My weather station (a very nice Netatmo that has served very well) crapped out after nearly 10 years of excellent service. I asked for recommendations here for a new station that would play nicely with #HomeAssistant, and hopefully, also HomeKit. I received *many* recommendations, with Ecowitt (and the brands it manufactures for) taking the lead.
A connection on here offered me their *unopened* Ecowitt weather station for a very generous price. It arrived yesterday, and I set it up, and it's already doing a great job. Works offline, talks to Home Assistant without any problems. I just need to do a couple of bits of configuration jiggery-pokery and it will pass data to HomeKit.
This is very much how things were when I first joined Twitter in 2007. In spite of attempts at #enshittification of everything, the #fediverse is putting up a good fight.
May your day online be as satisfying as mine was yesterday.

Is this the first time a major service has removed end-to-end encryption instead of adding it? Why Instagram?

I once stumbled on a Macbook repair YTer and was blown away by his presentation and diagnosis of a known GPU issue on a 2010 MBP.

Louis Rossmann! #louisrossmann
He’s still doing good work bringing attention to #ConsumerRightsWiki to categorize #enshittification practices.
Probably going to contribute Highland Pro app I ranted about recently.
Cory Doctorow @pluralistic is one of the voices that leads the way in the pursuit of a fair digital future. And he’s fun :). Don’t miss it.
He’ll be presenting #Enshittification, translated with ❤️ by @capitanswing.bsky.social

En español, #enshittification se llama "mierdificación" aunque siempre he pensado que ya teniamos una palabra, "enmerdar", que viene a significar lo mismo.
